In this episode, Dr. Krishona Martinson and Robyn Stewart share their take on their favorite abstracts they watched at the 2023 Equine Science Society meetings.  We discuss the impact of hay nets on teeth, when folks think horses are old, if pasture tracks make a difference and poop versus urea - which is better!
